The Club

Recently acquired by Barceló Hotels and Resorts, the Occidental Vacation Club, initially Allegro Vacation Club, began selling vacation club memberships in 1993 with the vision of developing a different, innovative product that would appeal to the most demanding vacationer.

The dedication to providing unforgettable vacations to couples and families has signified constant growth to the Club and a very satisfied owner community of over 30,000 members. Being part of a full scale all-inclusive resort company, allows the club to offer properties that include multiple restaurants (in some cases up to 8), bars and entertainment facilities. This allows our Club to provide a membership with high service levels and amenities including: a fully stocked bar in the room, members lounge, private restaurants and exclusive beach areas, depending on the resort.

Where do you want to go next? Occidental Vacation Club resorts are located in some on the most paradisiac destinations in the world. And now, as a part of Barceló Hotel Group, the options are growing even more! Mexico, Dominican Republic, Costa Rica and Aruba are just some of the options your membership has to offer. On top of that, our affiliated resorts offer our members additional destinations, from Colombia to Italy, the vacation possibilities are endless.

A true measure of success!

The Occidental Vacation Club has had the unique vision of offering an attractive and different product to the timeshare market. With a strategy based on continuous innovation and a different approach to reaching out to potential clients focused on an "enhanced vacation experience" through which it offers its members many benefits that will surely provide memorable vacations.

“We love being members of OVC. We have upgraded twice, as our family has grown. We now have a 2 bedroom. Our home resort is Punta Cana. It really doesn't matter what your home resort is. We love being Royal Club members. We get amazing service and use of Royal and First Clubs. What I would say is some resorts are better than others. After 10 years of being members we know where we prefer to go. We love Punta Cana, Xcaret, Aruba looks great. Royal Hideaway is amazing - but adults only. We are very pleased with the service and friendliness of everyone at Occidental. We try to travel at least twice a year.

BENEFITS DURING YOUR ANNIVERSARY YEAR

EXTRA OWNERS WEEK

During your anniversary year, the Club will grant you an additional Owners Week, free of maintenance fees. This will allow you to enjoy your vacation for two weeks during the year without having to wait for the 60 days to book bonus time. We cannot guarantee Club units but will do our best as the privilege is subject to availability, and due to limited inventory, it does not include stays in Aruba. Aruba Founders may use the extra week in any other club property of their choice.

Membership upgrade discount

If during the course of your anniversary year, you decide to upgrade your membership level, let's say from First Club to Grand Level or from a Studio unit to a one bedroom, you will be able to do so at a 25% discount.This discount must be issued upon purchase of the upgrade, so it is important that you let know your sales agent of your Founders privilege. Have in mind that if the discount is not applied at time of purchase, the Club will not issue any other sort of credit.

Rate discounts

As a Founders Club member you will have a 10% discount on bookings made for your regular week during the anniversary year. In the case you have already used your week this year the credit will apply for your next owner’s week booking. You just have to request your discount to your customer service agent at time of booking.

Free unit upgrade

On your anniversary year you will receive a category or unit upgrade free of charge depending on your current membership level:

Gold, Silver or Prestige (former Platinum) members you will be upgraded to First Club.

First Club members you will be upgraded to Grand Level.

Grand Level Members will receive a unit upgrade. Grand Level two bedrooms or Penthouse will be granted a 50% discount to Royal Hideaway Playacar.

PERMANENT BENEFITS

Additional week with RCI (every two years)

As Founders Club member, aside from your regular week, every other year you will be awarded one RCI week free of charge. With the additional week, you will have a better chance to book at RCI properties on dates that can be difficult and time consuming.

Keep in mind that in order to maximize the available weeks, the Club will not issue an automatic RCI week to you, as you need to contact your customer service agent and request it. Once you have done this, we will deposit the week with RCI, and then you will be able to choose among more than 4,500 properties in their offering.

More points in the Club Rewards program

After 10 years of membership in the Club, members begin to receive the privilege of earning points with each vacation they make, whether it is payment of maintenance fees, payment of category upgrades or unit type or all inclusive fee.

Founders Club members will begin to accumulate points for any and all reservations made as of January 1 of their anniversary year. The use of the Points Exchange System will be based on the rules and regulations of this program.
